105 years? Seriously? How exactly do they expect this man to rehabilitate himself locked up in jail for 105 years? What they should do is sentence him to go to rehab for sex addicts for a period of 2 years and then re-evaluate him after that. Jail is not going to help him, especially with all the sick psychos in there. You know for sure they are going to dump him with the sex addict population so he will eventually become some dude's wife or get killed.

He obviously doesnt want to pay for anything otherwise he'd of bought the photos lol

Therein lies the confusion. The Internet is bursting at its seems with naked girls online in pretty much every possible way... And there is a serious amount freely viewable if a person is interested. Basically, nudity online is abundantly available at all price points from free to mega rich.

Makes me say there is something else at play in this mans mind. 105 years in jail is excessive and won't help him. Whatever problem he has is mental and needs to be dealt with as such. What the girls went through wasn't good at all, but it is a great deal less traumatizing than rape. I'm confident that imprisonment would only turn him into a rapist or worse; if he is ever released. As he'll be surrounded by sex crimes offenders who will train him.

Why is it every time we get a story where someone was sentenced for a large number of years, people seem to think it is excessive?

If the penalty for breaking law A is 1 year and you break the same law over and over, at different intervals of time, then you get counts per penalty. He broke into HUNDREDS of accounts. Thus 105 counts of breaking law A, at 1 year per count, is 105 years.

People somehow like to compare this to 20 years for manslaughter. Well, that is 20 years for ONE count of manslaughter. If you want to make a proper comparison, you would have to compare 105 years for 105 counts of hacking compared to 2,100 years for 105 counts of manslaughter.

It probably wasn't the girls being naked. Like you said he can just jump on bing and type naked girls. He obviously gets off on the control, the power of making woman do what he wants. Theres a lot of sick freaks out there and im glad he got 105 years. Good riddance.

Not so extreme anymore, now is it?

Incidentally Norway and other countries with lower crime rates and compared to America practically zero relate criminals after jail/rehabilitation, allows parallel and not consecutive sentencing.

After all if your rehabilitating someone, it doesn't make sense to rehabilitate him 105 times for the same thing.
